If the phone isn't recognized by a PC, cannot be shutdown by the power button and says it's Hard Reset but nothing happens seems like a brick to me. I could use it in a foundation (a weak one) but it serves no other purpose. As to bricks lighting up; depends on what kind brick you mean...If we're talking the kinda you lay mortar to then see 4th of July and some fireworks; if we're talking drugs then that's a bit easier to imagine, no?

Never did I say I was an expert but I am simply stating I'm not a neophyte either.

Maybe it is some kind of malware problem?Hard reset should rake care of it. Do it a couple times. Couldn't hurt.

On the subject of screen protectors does Zagg or Clarivue make a better product? or possibly someone else for the TP2?

I haven't pulled my stock one off my Sprint TP1 but it has scratch lines on the protector itself. I'm sure the screen still looks perfect. Is yours OEM?

Yah mine is the stock/oem protector I believe the scratch is just on the protector itself but I was afraid to look otherwise. Now I really don't care; obviously.

did you reinstall the stock rom on it?
did you unlock the device using cmonex?
did you try to flash a new rom?

Sorry to hear that. I have a T-Mobile TP2 as well. My serial starts with HT97xxx so if Phone serials are like car VINS then mine was probably manufactured not too long after yours. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

And yes, mine also gets very warm when not being charged as well.

Honestly I just wish I could get a reason so history doesn't repeat itself for me. I still think the Touch Pro2 is one of the better handsets on the market but in the back of my mind I do kinda wish I went with the Dash 3g; being a previous Dash owner. How does T-mobile think offering up a Nokia 3310 as a loaner phone is really going to help someone out who has a smart phone? Seriously!? T-mobile also needs to step their 3g + 4g efforts up if they wish to compete in the US market. Up here in NH I have to hunt for 3G and it's not attainable until I'm right next to the Mass. border.
